===Past uniforms=== From 1961 to 1971 the Twins sported uniforms bearing the classic "Twins" script and numerals in navy outlined in red. They wore navy caps with an interlocking "TC" on the front; this was adopted because Griffith was well aware of the bitter rivalry between Minneapolis and Saint Paul and didn't want to alienate fans in either city. The original "Minnie and Paul" alternate logo appears on the left sleeve of both the pinstriped white home uniform and gray road uniform.<ref name=TwinsUniforms/> For the 1972 season the Twins updated their uniforms. The color scheme on the "Twins" script and numerals were reversed, pinstripes were removed from the home uniform, and an updated "Minnie and Paul" roundel patch replaced the originals on the left sleeve.<ref name=TwinsUniforms/> In 1973, the Twins switched to polyester pullover uniforms, which included a powder blue road uniform. Chest numerals were added while a navy-brimmed red cap was used with the home uniform. The original "Minnie and Paul" logo returned to the left sleeve. Player names in red were added to the road uniform in 1977.<ref name=TwinsUniforms/> In 1987, the Twins updated their look. Home white uniforms brought back the pinstripes along with the modern-day "Twins" script. By this time, the franchise felt it was established enough in the area that it could put a stylized "M" on its cap without having fans in St. Paul think it stood for Minneapolis. The "TC" insignia adorned the left sleeve, later replaced by the modern "Minnie and Paul" alternate in 2002. Road gray uniforms, which also featured pinstripes, were emblazoned with "Minnesota" in red block letters outlined in navy, while the updated primary logo adorned the left sleeve. Both uniforms kept the red numerals trimmed in navy, but the color on the player names was changed to navy. In 1997, player names were added to the home uniform. Initially, both uniforms were paired with an all-navy cap featuring the underlined "M" in front, but in 2002, the "TC" cap was brought back as a home cap while the "M" cap was used on the road. The "M" cap was retired following the 2010 season, though the team continued to wear them as a throwback on special occasions.<ref name=TwinsUniforms/> For a few games during the 1997 season, the Twins wore red alternate uniforms, which featured navy piping and letters in white trimmed in navy. In that same year, the Twins also released a road navy alternate uniform, featuring red piping, "Minnesota" and player names in white block letters outlined in red, and red numerals outlined in white. The following season, the Twins replaced the red uniforms with a home navy alternate, which features the "Twins" script and back numerals in red outlined in white, and player names and chest numerals in white outlined in red. Both uniforms contained the "TC" (later modern "Minnie and Paul") and primary logo sleeve patches respectively. The Twins also brought back the navy-brimmed red cap for a few games with the home navy alternates. The road navy alternates remained in use until 2009, with the home navy version worn for the last time in the 2013 season.<ref name=TwinsUniforms/> The Twins also wore three other alternate uniforms in the past. In 2006, the Twins wore a sleeveless variation of their regular home uniforms with navy undershirts, which they wore until 2010. They also wore a buttoned version of their 1973β86 home uniforms in 2009, before giving way to the throwback off-white version of their 1961β71 home uniforms from 2010 to 2018.<ref name=TwinsUniforms/> In 2010, the Twins modified their road uniforms upon moving to Target Field. The pinstriped home uniforms remained, but the road primary now featured an updated "Minnesota" script (with an underline below "innesot") in red trimmed in navy. Letters are in navy while numerals (both on the chest and on the back) are in red trimmed in navy. The team's primary logo appears on the left sleeve. Meanwhile, the navy alternate road uniform shared the same look as the regular road uniforms, but with a few differences. The "Minnesota" script is in red outlined in white, letters and chest numerals are in white outlined in red, and back numerals are in red outlined in white. Red piping is also added. Both uniforms were paired with either the all-navy or the red-brimmed navy "TC" cap.<ref name=TwinsUniforms/> In 2015, the Twins changed their home uniform. It features the modern "Twins" script (with an underline below "win") in navy outlined in red with Kasota gold drop shadows. Letters and numerals also take on the same color as the "Twins" script. The modern "Minnie and Paul" alternate logo (with the state of Minnesota in navy outlined in Kasota gold) appears on the left sleeve. Caps are in all-navy with the interlocking "TC" outlined in Kasota gold. The following year, they unveiled a red alternate uniform, which features the "TC" insignia outlined in Kasota gold on the left chest. Letters and numerals are in navy outlined in white with Kasota gold drop shadows. The "Minnie and Paul" alternate logo appears on the left sleeve. The uniform is paired with a navy-brimmed red cap with the "TC" outlined in Kasota gold.<ref name=TwinsUniforms>{{cite web|url=https://www.mlb.com/twins/history/uniforms-logos|title=Twins Uniforms and Logos|website=Minnesota Twins|publisher=MLB|access-date=September 9, 2020|archive-date=August 16, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200816033430/https://www.mlb.com/twins/history/uniforms-logos|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2019, a new home navy alternate was released, featuring the classic "Twins" script (with a tail underline accent after the letter "s") in red outlined in navy and Kasota gold. Letters and numerals also take on the same color as the "Twins" script. As with the home white uniforms, it is paired with the all-navy Kasota gold "TC" cap.

A modern buttoned version of the road uniform the team used from 1973 to 1986, the set contains the classic "Twins" script in red outlined in navy, along with red letters on the back and red numerals (both on the chest and on the back) outlined in navy. The "Minnie and Paul" alternate logo appears on the left sleeve. The uniform is paired with the primary all-navy "TC" cap minus the Kasota gold accents, which is also used on the helmets regardless of uniform.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mlb.com/twins/fans/2020-alternate-uniforms|title=Twins New 2020 Alternate Uniforms|website=Minnesota Twins|publisher=MLB|access-date=September 9, 2020|archive-date=September 9, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200909075129/https://www.mlb.com/twins/fans/2020-alternate-uniforms|url-status=live}}</ref> {{multiple image | align = center | direction = horizontal | header = Classic Twins uniforms | header_align = left/right/center | header_background = | footer = | footer_align = left/right/center | footer_background = | image1 = Harmon Killebrew 1965.jpg | caption1 = [[Harmon Killebrew]] wearing the Twins' 1961β1971 home uniform. | image2 = DSC 0406 Orlando Cabrera.jpg | caption2 = [[Orlando Cabrera]] wearing a throwback version of the Twins' 1972 home uniform. | image3 = 1981 Minnesota Twins Postcards Al Williams.jpg | caption3 = [[Albert Williams (baseball)|Albert Williams]] wearing the Twins' 1973β1986 home uniform. | image4 = Rod-carew cleveland 08-31-1975.jpg | caption4 = [[Rod Carew]] wearing the Twins' 1973β1986 powder blue road uniform. | image5 = Kent Hrbek 1987.jpg | caption5 = [[Kent Hrbek]] wearing the Twins' 1987β2015 home uniform with the navy "M" cap. | image6 = Francisco Liriano on April 18, 2008.jpg | caption6 = [[Francisco Liriano]] wearing the Twins' 1987β2015 home uniform with the navy "TC" cap. | total_width = 1100 }} {{multiple image | align = center | direction = horizontal | header = | header_align = left/right/center | header_background = | footer = | footer_align = left/right/center | footer_background = | image1 = Phil Nevin (2311247465).jpg | caption1 = [[Phil Nevin]] wearing the Twins' 1987β2009 road uniform with the navy "M" cap. | image2 = Scott Baker Twins.jpg | caption2 = [[Scott Baker (right-handed pitcher)|Scott Baker]] wearing the Twins' 1997β2009 road navy alternate uniform with the navy "M" cap. | image3 = Jeff Gray on June 26, 2012.jpg | caption3 = [[Jeff Gray (baseball, born 1981)|Jeff Gray]] wearing the Twins' 1998β2013 home navy alternate uniform with the navy "M" cap. | image4 = Jason Kubel on August 3, 2008.jpg | caption4 = [[Jason Kubel]] wearing the Twins' 2006β2010 home sleeveless alternate uniform. | image5 = Brian Dozier on June 24, 2015.jpg | caption5 = [[Brian Dozier]] wearing the Twins' 2010β2018 home throwback alternate uniform. | total_width = 1100 }} {{multiple image | align = center | direction = horizontal | header = | header_align = left/right/center | header_background = | footer = | footer_align = left/right/center | footer_background = | image1 = Kyle Gibson - Minnesota Twins - Opening Day vs Seattle Mariners (26396146597) (cropped).jpg | caption1 = [[Kyle Gibson]] wearing the Twins' 2015β2022 home uniform. | image2 = Eddie Rosario on August 22, 2015.jpg | caption2 = [[Eddie Rosario]] wearing the Twins' 2010β2022 road uniform. | image3 = Jake Odorizzi on Opening Day 2018 (39295848290).jpg | caption3 = [[Jake Odorizzi]] wearing the Twins' 2010β2022 road navy alternate uniform. | image4 = Michael Pineda - - Minnesota Twins - Target Field - MLB (48221308651).jpg | caption4 = [[Michael Pineda]] wearing the Twins' 2019β2022 home navy alternate uniform with special [[Independence Day (United States)|Independence Day]]-themed red cap and navy bill. | image5 = 180708-Z-ZC950-0078 (42605353324).jpg | caption5 = Twins players wearing the 2016β2022 home red alternate uniform with alternate red cap and navy bill. | total_width = 1100 }}
